Fort Knox was named after the first granite fortress in Maine and was located in a river valley to protect it from Navy attacks. During the Spanish-American War, about 500 Connecticut soldiers were stationed here, but no fighting was ever fought. Although there was no fighting, Fort Knox guarded the US Embassy in New York City and the United States Capitol in Washington, DC.
